the pleasure Of seeing 1t and its
operation and will give your read
crs an idea as to how it is conduc-

He has two pastures, the first
one contains about 300 acres, and
the other 2oa acres. He turns his
cattle on II until il is pretty well
eaten down and then they are
changed to the other. In order to
Keep these pastures up and have
his stock at ended to, he employs
four or five hands whose Cuty it is
TO drive them up cN cry night and
Keep the pastures III repair. Be
sides this they help cultivate one
hundred acres in cotton and the
same amount in corn. These lands
are the finest for grazing purposes
that we have seen in this section of
the county. They lie mainly ON
lIccdN river and Rabun creek, and
are filed with car" ard grasses.
MIR. Smith commenced this bust
ness last fall merely as an expert

TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized bY Geo. p.
ROwell & Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.

The well known advertising agency OF
Geo. P. Rowell q Co. of New York City. have
issued IN annual Newspaper Directory fol-
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
rs TO the matter of newspaper circulation
In the regular issues of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently, however, they have issued con.
densed list. It gives only the best newspa'
pers as advertising mediums, and hence ID
practically better, because more convenient,
than their larger Directory. Four-ffths OF
tho newspapers Of the United States are
practically counted out" by intelligent ad-
vertisers, who only want to know the best.
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface well say:
1T Sits the wheat from the chaf. It di-
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept a portion of that pa-
tronage which goes to publications which
oost greatly in excess of any power to bene-
fit which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
the FREE PBEss is given by this book (see
page 1881 as the advertising medium of San
Marcos and Hays county, it being the only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both at home and
abroad, to this fact.
